In this episode of Bento Radio, I take an in-depth look at Secrets of the Silent Witch, one of the most underrated fantasy anime of the year. If you’re searching for anime analysis, anime reviews, best fantasy anime, or hidden gem anime recommendations, this episode breaks down why Secrets of the Silent Witch deserves a spot on your watchlist.
I explore Monica Everett as a protagonist, the Seven Sages, and how the series handles genius, trauma, social anxiety, and character growth in ways that set it apart from other light novel adaptations.
